Unilever is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of Ben

including almonds, Brazil nuts, and hazelnuts that are not declared
in the ingredient list or allergy information list. Both affected
products include a “Contains Walnuts” and a “May contain other tree
nuts” label on the back of the pack. Persons who have an allergy or
severe sensitivity to these undeclared tree nuts run the risk of a
serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the
recalled products.

This limited voluntary recall is being conducted with the
knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
(Individual Case Safety Report Number 2065846.)
The affected Ben & Jerry’s Coconut Seven Layer Bar bulk
product is sold in a tub containing 2.4 gallons with a Consumer UPC
of 076840104246 and best by date of
SEP1520BJ4. The affected Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey
pint is sold in a pint tub (473 mL) with a Consumer UPC of
076840100354 and best by dates of
AUG2820BH2, AUG2920BH2, or AUG3020BH2.
The products were manufactured in the United States. The
affected Chunky Monkey pints were distributed nationwide and
reached consumers through retail stores. The affected Coconut Seven
Layer Bar bulk products were distributed nationwide and reached
consumers through wholesale and scoop shops. No product was shipped
outside of the U.S.
No other container sizes or best by dates of Ben & Jerry’s
products – besides these specific lots of Coconut Seven Layer Bar
bulk and Chunky Monkey pints – are affected by this voluntary
recall, including other Pint Slices, pints or any other products
served in Ben & Jerry's franchised Scoop Shops.
The recall was initiated after an undeclared nut was found
during the production operation. Unilever has not received any
reports of illness associated with this product, but the company is
voluntarily recalling this product out of an abundance of caution.
Unilever’s ongoing investigation shows that the issue stemmed from
an error from one of its nut suppliers. The situation has been
remediated.
Consumers who have purchased containers of the above products
with the affected UPC and date codes are asked to immediately
discontinue use of the product, retain the outer container, and
call 833-236-1237 for further information 24/7.
The company is placing a notification on the Food Allergy
Research and Education (FARE) web site www.foodallergy.org.
